Toys is a toy manufacturer that has been producing Simpsons action figures, vehicles and accessories for many years
from 2001 up to the present day. Playmate action figures are articulated so

Intelli-Tronic Voice Activation, whereby many phrases, voiced by the
actual Simpsons actors, can be actioned when the figure is placed into
one of the environments that are also sold separately such as Moe's
Tavern, or the Kwik E Mart.

Over the years there have been lots of series of
Simpsons characters, and quite a few have included different variations of the main
characters in different outfits with different phrases and also quite a
few of the minor characters.
